attaching pattern on feather

[Anonymous]

I made feather using xgen and I want to attach some pattern on it. I applied aiStandardHair to feather and I plugged texture in color even I tried aiTriPlaner but I am not getting result that I want. Is there any way to attach specific pattern on it?

There is this tutorial about spline color. Can you upload the scene somewhere so that we can test the triplanar issue?
